This may help-I just installed all of new versions as previously discussed including HX Edit V.2.71 on my laptop which is configured with the same security stack. Success? Yes. I downloaded the Line 6 updater and HX Edit software...using Google Chrome...then I performed a quick scan using Windows Defender, of each file located in the default Downloads folder. Since this is integrated with what SmartScreen normally does live when connected to the Internet, the scan returned clean and removed the quarantine blocks. The installation proceeded without incident. Yah, Ok..I, will keep it.

HXEdit 2.71=Not sure and after the usual troubleshooting I could not resolve it. The system runs perfect. And previously handled a 20 unit outboard rack. Currently the DAW with iZotope Spire and plug-in suites, works just fine. Let’s see...67-130 FPS GPU performance, all .Net versions supported. Blocking exploited SHA=1 certificates is mandatory. Secure Boot is mandatory. Disabling security is not supported. Pace is supported...for the software dongle. Not interested in heading down the work-around path with Support. Heading for my laptop to roll the dice. Still inside my return window at Guitar Center...I am not patient with rolling beta software efforts but the hardware seems good so far. Thanks for reflecting. Please include you version numbers for reference.

Note: How it worked-If you are successful in installing the most recent Helix firmware and drivers but HX Edit 2.71 does not work as expected you can uninstall it then install 2.70 after un-blocking the file. Uncheck installation of everything except HX Edit version 2.70 to avoid over writing the previously updated Line 6 ASIO and other drivers. You can use Google Chrome Browser until MS Edge is ported to the chrome code base shortly. This doesn’t change the OS handling of code signing certificates on any modern OS platform which are updated to stop exploits of new security threats globally. Here’s wishing that hope springs eternal.

Instead Line 6 should update code signing practices which may include site download security audits so...Downloaded Code passes Windows Defender security scans. Also, you can unblock, successful downloads by viewing the files properties, then checking the un-block box.

HX Edit 2.71= same problem. 2.70 works so far without the screen corruption or communication issues I.e has not crashed. Also using a USB 3x port solved other global issues. Generally, The software seems to be work in digress. I nicknamed it CRAP for -consistently regressive application programming.
